[SGVLUG] apt-get troubles

So I have a VPS with Ubuntu jaunty on it, and have recently run:

$ apt-get install ca-certificates

And with it came a few other packages, and then failed midway through,
stating, that I needed to add "lenny" to my sources  (strange because
this isn't Debian) and then run a command that I've last in my screen
now, to update the kernel.

So now when I run:

$apt-get -f install

I get this message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc-bin: Breaks: libc6 (< 2.10) but 2.9-4ubuntu6.3 is installed
  libc-dev-bin: Depends: libc6 (> 2.15) but 2.9-4ubuntu6.3 is installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

And I've updated my sources to "precise" (for the latest 12.4 release),
and was attempting to update the whole machine.

What to do?
